Our code of conduct is definitive; it is not negotiable.

I believe that no concern of ours is too small or insignificant.

If ingratitude be numbered among the serious sins, then gratitude takes its place among the noblest of virtues.

Everyone can be discontented if he ignores his blessings and looks only at his burdens.

The good you have done, the kind words you have spoken, the love you have shown to others, can never be fully measured.

If we are to have the very best Christmas ever, we must listen for the sound of sandaled feet. We must reach out for the Carpenter's hand. With every step we take in his footsteps, we abandon a doubt and gain a truth.

None of us makes it through this life without problems and challenges — and sometimes tragedies and misfortunes. After all, in large part we are here to learn and grow from such events in our lives. We know that there are times when we will suffer, when we will grieve, and when we will be saddened. However, we are told, “Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy.” How might we have joy in our lives, despite all that we may face? Again from the scriptures: “Wherefore, be of good cheer, and do not fear, for I the Lord am with you, and will stand by you."
